Island Studies Journal , Vol. 3, No. 2, 2008, pp. 153-162 Writing Tasmania’s “Different Soul” Danielle Wood School of English, Journalism and European Languages University of Tasmania Australia [email protected] Abstract: The narrator of Christopher Koch's 1958 novel The Boys in the Island claims for Tasmania “a different soul”, distinct from that of the Australian mainland to the north, in the same breath in which he claims for the island “a different weather”. Observations of the distinctiveness of island geography and weather – and of the quality of the light – are recurrent in narratives set not only in Tasmania, but also on those islands to which Tasmania itself acts as a ‘mainland’. This paper surveys a range of texts, including Koch’s The Boys in the Island , Joanna Murray-Smith’s Truce , and my own The Alphabet of Light and Dark , in which a Tasmanian island functions both as a setting for the protagonist's idealized childhood and as a metaphor for the protagonist’s “true self”. It explores the representation of islands in these texts, examining how a specific tradition of writing about Tasmania intersects with a broader tradition of writing about islands. Keywords : Australia, distinctiveness, islands, mainland, Tasmania © 2008 - Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction “Tasmania is an island of hills, a fragment separated from the parent continent by a wide stretch of sea. It is different from the hot Australian mainland; it has a different weather and a different soul” (Koch, 1958: 8). For as long as Tasmania (formerly Van Diemen’s Land) has been written about, it has been defined in terms of what it is not, depicted always in opposition to the mainland of continental Australia.

Tas Talk… the Movie the Cast, Their Stories and the Best Supporting Actress…Tasmania
TAS TALK… THE MOVIE THE CAST, THEIR STORIES AND THE BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS…TASMANIA Kayaking on the Pieman River © Michael Walters Photography Behind the Scenes, Hobart © HypeTV –––– A journey to Tasmania is a rare chance to disconnect from stress and reconnect with the things that matter. Geographic isolation has contributed to unique biodiversity, and it has also fostered a rare community of creative, down-to-earth, resourceful people with time to make you feel welcome. We are all working in unusual circumstances and although this year we were unable to deliver our much sought after TasTalk trade event in its standard format, we know you need to connect with Tasmanian tourism operators. So, we are bringing the TasTalk trade event experience to you! This is TasTalk...The Movie, an opportunity for you to listen and connect with Tasmanians over a live platform. Featuring the stars of our tourism industry, this is set to be a movie like you have never seen before. One of the joys of travelling in Tasmania is not just the chance to taste produce straight from the farm and ocean, but the ease of meeting the makers at cellar doors, farm gates and local markets. And with four distinct seasons, there’s always something new to see, taste and feel. TasTalk...The Movie will speak to all of this and more. Tasmania is a place for adventure, however, you define it. Whether the view is from the privacy of a hot tub in a forest, or from a kayak for two, or fireside with Tassie whisky and friends, the world looks different from Tasmania.

From Northern Bass Strait, Southern Australia
31 August 1989 Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria 50(1): 1-242 (1989) ISSN 0814-1827 https://doi.org/10.24199/j.mmv.1989.50.01 DEMOSPONGIAE (PORIFERA) FROM NORTHERN BASS STRAIT, SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA By Felix Wiedenmayer Department of Invertebrate Zoology, Museum of Victoria, Swanston Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000, Australia Present address: Naturhistorisches Museum Basel, Agustinergasse 2, 4001 Basel, Switzerland Abstract Wiedenmayer, F., 1989. Demospongiae from northern Bass Strait, southern Australia. Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria 50(1): 1-242. Eighty-four species (in 47 genera) in the Museum of Victoria, Melbourne, are described and illustrated. Of these, 21 species are described as new: Ancorina repens, A. suina, Stelletta arenitecta, Rhabdastrella cordata, R. intermedia, Tetilla praecipua, Latrunculia hallmanni, Pseudaxinella decipiens, Reniochalina sectilis, Rhaphoxya felina, Clathria wilsoni, Echinoclathria egena, Psammoclema bitextum, P. fissuratum, P. goniodes, P. radiatum, P. stipitatum, P. van- soesti, Callyspongia persculpta, C. toxifera, and Thorecta glomerosus. Eighteen records are new for the Maugean province, and three (Phorbas tenacior, Darwinella gardineri, and Gel- liodes incrustans) are new for the Australian fauna. The following revisions depart from those adopted in Wiedenmayer et al. (in press). The family Desmacididae is divided into Desmacidi- nae and Stylotellinae, and the genera Stylotella ( = Batzella), Phoriospongia ( = Chondropsis), and Psammoclema ( = Psammopemma, Sarcocornea) are assigned to the latter. Dactylia, Chalinopsilla and Arenosclera are synonymised with Callyspongia. Thorectandra is synonymised with Thorecta. Dendrilla cactos (Selenka) is a senior synonym of D. rosea Lendenfeld. The composition of this collection is even, with respect to the known demosponge fauna of Victoria and Tasmania. Its zoogeographic affinity is essentially Indo-West Pacific and relictic Tethyan, its provincial endemism high, and its overlap with the Antarctic/Subantarctic fauna almost nil.

Deal Island an Historical Overview
Introduction. In June 1840 the Port Officer of Hobart Captain W. Moriarty wrote to the Governor of Van Diemen’s Land, Sir John Franklin suggesting that lighthouses should be erected in Bass Strait. On February 3rd. 1841 Sir John Franklin wrote to Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales seeking his co-operation. Government House, Van Diemen’s Land. 3rd. February 1841 My Dear Sir George. ………………….This matter has occupied much of my attention since my arrival in the Colony, and recent ocurances in Bass Strait have given increased importance to the subject, within the four years of my residence here, two large barques have been entirely wrecked there, a third stranded a brig lost with all her crew, besides two or three colonial schooners, whose passengers and crew shared the same fate, not to mention the recent loss of the Clonmell steamer, the prevalence of strong winds, the uncertainty of either the set or force of the currents, the number of small rocks, islets and shoals, which though they appear on the chart, have but been imperfectly surveyed, combine to render Bass Strait under any circumstances an anxious passage for seamen to enter. The Legislative Council, Votes and Proceedings between 1841 – 42 had much correspondence on the viability of erecting lighthouses in Bass Strait including Deal Island. In 1846 construction of the lightstation began on Deal Island with the lighthouse completed in February 1848. The first keeper William Baudinet, his wife and seven children arriving on the island in March 1848. From 1816 to 1961 about 18 recorded shipwrecks have occurred in the vicinity of Deal Island, with the Bulli (1877) and the Karitane (1921) the most well known of these shipwrecks.

A note on the discovery of stone tools on Erith Island, the Kent Group, Bass Strait. 'Australian Archaeology', no.8, 146-149. A NOTE ON THE DISCOVERY OF STONE TOOLS ON ERITH ISLAND, THE KENT GROUP, BASS STRAIT Rhys Joms and R. J. Lmlpert A calcrete flake found by R. Newton of La Trobe University on the surface of a sand dune on Erith Island, the Kent Group, Bass Strait, was shown to us in November 1974 by S. Murray-Smith and D. Anderson, and its location on this island was published (Jones 1977:335, 348) in a general paper dealing with the late glacial history of the Bassian region as the sea rose to re-drown the low lands which between c.24,000 and 12,500 BP had joined Tasmania to the Australian continent. Erith Island nowadays is a hard place to get to. Forming part of the Kent Group, together with the outer main islands Deal and Dover, it is situated some 75 km southeast of ~ilson'sPromontory with only the small Curtis and Hogan Groups and a few steep rocky stacks in between. In the other direction it is some 55 km northwest of the northern tip of Flinders Island again with only rocks and reefs in the intervening water (Jennings 1959). Standing in the centre of the stormy and treacherous eastern portals of Bass Strait, the Kent Group was way beyond the capacity of either Tasmanian or mainland Aboriginal watercraft to reach it (Jones 1976, 1977 :322-332).

BYC Cruising Group Long Cruise 2020 Three BYC Boats, Tahiti, White Rose
BYC Cruising Group long cruise 2020 Three BYC boats, Tahiti, White Rose (Sandringham YC – affiliated with BYC) and Phase Three, headed for the east coast, bound for Melbourne, in February 2020. Why Melbourne? Several reasons: White Rose wanted to get to its owners’ home marina, Phase Three wanted to go to a show, and Tahiti wanted to go to Docklands, for some unknown reason. Maybe just to catch a tram from the marina. There were a few conditions set for this cruise: don’t rush; try to get good sailing conditions; sail mostly in daylight; catch some fish. The first few legs went smoothly, with a nice sail to Norfolk Bay and a transit of Denison Canal the next morning. A brisk westerly saw double digit speeds up Marion Bay and through Mercury Passage. However Tahiti experienced an unusual vibration in the drive shaft. We had to slow down, lock the drivetrain, and wish we had a folding propeller. At Orford it was discovered that a large clump of seaweed had fouled the prop and put it out of balance. Problem easily solved. However this was a recurring issue up the coast as the big NE swells generated by the tailend of a tropical cyclone had broken off massive amounts of seaweed that was floating everywhere and impossible to avoid. Swimming under the boat to clear seaweed became a daily activity. Orford was a pleasant stop-over. Phase Three picked up an extra crew. Half the group stretched their legs with a coastal walk through to Spring Beach. The fellows opted for a chin wag on Tahiti, enjoying the sunshine and some elbow bending.
